👍👍 My god-children attend Sidewinder Jiu Jitsu on a weekly basis and they love it! I’ve attended a few sessions to watch myself. The staff is so welcoming, kind, and are so attentive to my god-children’s needs. I’m looking forward to enrolling my own children during summer break!

👍👍 Full of space, tons of options for spin classes, swimming, and indoor facility classes. Karen and Lindsey st the front desk were incredibly helpful. They give you a tour and they offer some healthy snacks (vending machine). Tons of areas for your kids to play. And although the pool is outside, it's...

👍👍 Been a member for 15+ years. Great atmosphere physically, mentally and spiritually. An anomaly of such diverse people of all different backgrounds that seemingly "just get along" with each other. I call it home.

👍👍 My daughter & I are from CO and chose to do a last minute swim with the Manatees just hours before having to catch a flight. The hotel wouldn't extend our stay so we could come back and take a shower... so lucky enough... our YMCA membership covers other locations up to 28 times a year. We arrived w...

👍👍 Impressive destination for multiple sports and activities. Our kiddos attend swimming and volleyball classes. It’s a fun perfect family place to spend, as kiddo do their sports we can have a walk around indoor and outdoor. Kids pool zone is very attractive. Well maintained with hygiene.

🫤 For months, I’ve been working out weekly, while my son sits quietly in sight at a table (not in child watch). Just today, a staff member told me my son couldn’t sit there without me sitting with him. Her tone was dismissive and condescending rather than helpful and solution-oriented. This is after I...

🫤 I am upset with the Nashville YMCAs. They are very obviously classist. They only care to upgrade facilities in affluent neighborhoods. I pay just as much but get stuck with the least desirable Y with much less amenities just because I live in West Nashville and not in Brentwood/Franklin. The Bellev...

😠 Horrible supervision and absolutely not safe. My son attended a weeklong summer camp and enjoyed some of the structured lessons during the day. However, open gym time was another story and ruined his experience. He got injured and bullied by other kids while the coaches stood in a huddle laughing a...

😠 Don't be fooled by this place. It looks nice. But it is in terrible shape. They refuse to maintain or fix anything until another few weeks or months beyond whenever they HAVE to. The pools are virtually unusable. If you take a tour and they try to give you the line that the therapy pool is around 9...

👍👍 The YMCA is a great organization that offers a lot of opportunities to become a better overall person through community and connection. I frequent Powel Crosley the most! The people there are amazing! They show nothing but love to my family and I. My kids in particular look forward to interacting wi...

🫤 I am an active member at the YMCA, I Cannot be more disappointed with the sauna and steam room set up. The Sauna and steam rooms do not meet the expectation of its members. it is not adequate for the influx of people who desire to use it. The new workout areas are hardly big enough to handle the inf...

👍👍 Excellent water instructors and pool staff!! Thanks for everything - the pool is beautiful, nice temperatures too..usually between 82 & 84 degrees with staff (lifeguards) covering at night etc and it’s freezing outside; it’s pretty awesome to exercise in the winter and see steamy water waiting! 🤩...
